Frei Brothers Reserve was established in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley by Swiss immigrant Andrew Frei. In operation since 1890, Frei Ranch and the winery have played an integral part in establishing the region’s premier reputation for winemaking and continue to produce exceptional wines today by carrying on the rich legacy of both their home vineyard and Sonoma’s celebrated growing regions. Frei Brothers Reserve begins by growing the best grapes in the best growing regions and ends with award-winning wines.
Frei Brothers Reserve also believes in better choices and better wine–today and for generations to come. Led by chief viticulturist Jim Collins, the wines are a pure expression of the land, made from premium grapes carefully grown in some of the best wine-growing regions in Sonoma County, including the Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek Valley. The winery crafts six critically acclaimed wines, including Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel.
Making better choices is also a part of the Frei Brothers Reserves sustainability journey that seeks to preserve natural resources without compromising the quality of the wine. The winery’s efforts have been certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and include some of the following programs:
• For every acre of land planted in vineyard, Frei Brothers Reserve sets aside one acre to be preserved as natural habitat
• When the winery at Frei Ranch needed to expand, the brand chose to transplant a row of 20 redwood trees rather than cut them down
• Frei Brothers Reserve uses fewer harsh chemicals, creating less pollution and reducing energy output
• The winery treats and reuses 80 percent of its wastewater for activities like irrigation and frost protection
• When replanting, the winery chips old vines for use as compost instead of burning them

Member Reviews for Frei Brothers Zinfandel

Dark purple color with a nose of raspberry, seabreeze and a touch of baking powder when first opened. The palate is really sweet with loads of red/black berry and cherry with a similar finish.
With air the nose really rounds showing a creamy red berry and spice character with the palate being dominated by black cherry with a long sweet finish.

Eye's: Very dark brick in color with a pinkish ring.
Nose: I did not get much of a boquete but I did pick up on some nice violet notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with really nice tannins. I'm actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it's fruitiness.
I really liked this wine. I believe chilling this wine a little would make it a great companion for asian fair.
